From the Earth to the Moon

Written nearly a century before man landed on the moon, this classic adventure tale has proved to be one of Jules Verne's most prophetic.

At the close of the Civil War, the members of the elite Baltimore Gun Club find themselves unemployed and bored. Finally, their president, Impey Barbicane, proposes a new project: to build a gun big enough to launch a rocket to the moon. But when a daring volunteer elevates the mission to a "manned" flight, one man's dream turns into an international space race.
